its the usual 4 parter four show crossover CW DC thing. The last one was quite good but this ones a bit shit so far. I mean, its CW and its Supergirl so you expect a bit of superhero soap opera but really, shit. American comics/comic shows have rediscovered their love of punching nazis and having nazis as the baddies again and its ok in some places (agents of shield pulled it off admirably) but this is just cheap now

I've just watched part 3 of this and yeah, the Trump / Far Right baiting is heavy handed to the point of eye-rolling, but good for the odd laugh.

I've found myself fast forwarding most of the relationship bits (with the exception of Sara Lance seducing Supergirl's sister, because that was to be expected and still funny).

Action scenes were decent, the Church fight was more interesting than any of the Steppenwolf fights in Justice League for a start.

Good Time - indie thriller set in New York about a small time rubbish criminal who gets his mentally disabled brother jailed through his incompetence and needs to raise bail money to get him out of Rikers, where he is in danger of getting killed. Nothing goes to plan and he meets lots of interesting characters over one frantic night. He's not a sympathetic character at all (violent, manipulative and possibly ephebophiliac

he makes on a move on a girl who looks to be about 11 or 12, despite her saying she's 16)

), and you only root for him cos of his poor brother, but it's brilliantly acted and shot and it's tense and bleak as fuck. All of this is underpinned by a throbbing Tangerine-Dreamesque score by Oneohtrix Point Never. Directed by Benny & Josh Sabdie - need to check out their other films. They're ones to watch.

Limitless (2011) - IMDb
Weird film about a struggling author who takes these random pills that makes him mega intelligent and then gets caught up in all sorts of stuff and then of course the drugs run out, but it seems silly to be that the this now incredibly smart dude, can't figure it out for himself!
5/10

Logan Lucky (2017) - IMDb
Kylo Ren and his brothers attempt to pull off a massive heist while at a NASCAR festival. Its nothing special. and it's no brainer, a bit like the ocean's films. It passes the time and doesn't offend and has a few laughs.
6/10

Super Dark Times (2017) - IMDb
Dark is about right for this, teenagers mucking around, with, frankly, something they shouldn't be mucking around with, end up having a massive accident that results in the death of one of them. They hide the body and the evidence but it becomes clear two of the teens are struggling to contain the information. One goes paranoid, the other turns sadistic violent which all leads to an bloody conclusion.
7/10

Okja. A very enjoyable watch. It felt like it had a real old fashioned structure, with loads of jeopardy and a good old fashioned denouement, plus an ace child lead. Plus who doesn't love a cute super pig?

A film that I still find difficult to like - largely because of the Ewoks, another bloody Death Star, Leia's 'golden' outfit, and the killing of Boba Fett in such 'throwaway' manner. With each iteration it just becomes more problematic. I hate this.

Yeah but Jabba, Palpatine, the scooters through the forest. And Boba Fett's death was fine, he didn't deserve a big scene 'cos he's barely in Emprie.

I think it's the most entertaining out of the three, largely because of the Ewoks

Endor would have been catastrophically devastated by the destruction of the second Death Star. Debris gonna follow the rules of physics. So it is perfect fan service for the two camps a) yay plucky Ewoks, and b) they all die eventually anyway
